The arrival of baby Rocco, a rare Eastern Black Rhino, who can be seen at the award-winning park’s rhino reserve, was a significant moment in the European breeding programme for the species whose numbers have dropped to below 1,000 in the wild. His birth has sparked awareness in their plight and Wildlife Foundation is organising the appeal in his honour to provide vital funding for conservation projects in Africa.

As part of the Rocco Challenge, Harrison College students are writing and delivering an awareness campaign in Doncaster primary schools. Delivery has already started, with the first roadshow being delivered at Grange Lane Infant School, Rossington to a group of Year 1 children. The children were fully engaged in the activities and this will continue into the new academic year, this will be bolstered by an awareness event at the St Leger Family Fun Day on the 15th September themed ‘Made in Doncaster’.
